COMBINED ASH AND "MATCH TRAY.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed. November 18, 1907. Serial No. 402,598.

Patented May 26, 1908,?

T 0 all whom it ma concern:

Be it known that I, -DAVID J. SEGEL, a citizen of the United States ofAmerica, and a resident of Boston, in the county'of Suffolk and State ofMassachusetts, have invented certain new and' useful Improvements inCombined Ash and Match Trays, of which the following is a s ecification.

This invention re ates to a combined ash tray and match holder for theuse of smokers and has for its object the production of a device of thisclass which will be erfectly sanitary. In order to accomplisii thisobject the device is constructed wholly of glass or similar material,the various parts thereof being integral and free from sharp corners inwhich the dirt may accumulate.

. The invention further consists in providing a cigar tip cutter whichmay be removably secured to the match box in such position that the tipof the cigar may be readily operated upon when desired. a

The invention consists further in certain novel features of constructionandarrangement of parts which will be readily understood by reference tothe description of the drawings and to the claims hereinafter given.

mOf the drawings: Figure 1 represents a erspective view of a deviceembodying the features of this invention. Fig. 2 represents a verticalsection of the same. Fig. 3 represents a sectional plan of the same, thecutting plane being on line 33 on Fig. 2, and Fig. 4 re resents asectional plan of the match box, t e cutting plane being on line 44 onFig. 2.

Similar characters designate like throughout the several figures of thearts in s.

In the drawings, 10 represents a cupshaped base from the center of whichpromember 13 are each provided Wlth a jects upwardly, the stem 11 whichis surrounde by a circular receptacle 12, formed by. the annular member13 projecting upwardly from the cup-shaped'base 10. Between this annularupwardly extending member 13 and the outer rim 14 of the cu shapedmember 10 is an annular receptac e 15 adapted to receive cigar ashes asdeposited therein by the smoker.

The rim 14 and the upwardly projectilng urality of radialcigar-retaining notches lfi which are adapted to receive a cigar whennot in use, the ash end of which is adapted to extend over the annularreceptacle 12 so that any ashes which may drop from the end of the cigarwill be deposited in said receptacle 12. I

Superimposed u on the upper end of the stem 11 is a mate box 17 providedwith a plurality of compartments 18 se arated by the ribs 19 whichextend inward y from the outer wall of said match box and connect withthe stem 20 of the handle 21 by which the device may be readily handled.The upper face 22 of the rim 14 is roughened in such a manner that whena match is removed from the receptacle 18 it maybe ignited thereon.

Removably secured to the match box 17 by means of the clip 23 is a ci artip cutter 24 which may be of any wel -known construction. It will beobserved by an inspection of the drawings that the various vertical andhorizontal faces of .the receptacles are joined together by curvedsurfaces so that the device is free from angular corners which areliable to collect the dirt and cause the debe immersed in any suitablecleansing liquid and all of the dirt accumulated therein readilyremoved, leaving the device always in a perfectly sanitary condition.

The many advantages ofsuch a device as is herein shown and described itis believed will be fully apparent from the foregoing.

Having thus described my invention, I claim:

1. In a device of the class described, the combination of an ash trayprovided with two concentric upwardly extending mem bers in the samehorizontal plane adapted to support a cigar; and means ormed upon andextending upwardly from said ash tray serving as a support fora matchbox.

2. In a device of the class described, the combination of an ash trayprovided with two concentric upwardly extending mem bers in the samehorizontal'plane adapted to support a cigar, the outer circular memberof which is rovided with a roughened surface adaptahle for use as amatch igniter; and means formed upon and extending upwar'dly from saidash tray serving as a support for a match box.

3. In a device of the class described, the combination of an ash trayprovided with two concentric upwardly extending members in the samehorizontal plane adapted to support a cigar, both of sai members beingprovided with a lurality of radial cigar retainin notches ormed therein;and means forme upon'and extending upwardly from said ash tray-as a suport for a match box.

4. In a device of 5m class described, the combination "of an ash trayhaving two shallowconcentric receptacles in the same horizontal planeeach adapted to receive ashes;

and an upwardly extending member from the center of the inner receptacleserving as a support for a match box made integral with said sup ort. r

5. In a devlceof the class described, the combination of an ash trayhaving two shallow concentric receptacles each adapted to recelve ashes,each ofwhich is surrounded by an n wardly projecting member having alineradial cigar-receiving notches therein; and an upwardly extending memberat the center of said tray serving as a SHPPOIt for a 25 receive ashes,each of which is surrounded by 0' an uwardly projecting member havingaline radial cigar-receiving notches therein; and an upwardly extendingmember at the center of said tray serving as a sup ort for a-matchreceptacle divided into a p urality 3 ofcompartments and also a. handle.

' I igned by me at Boston, Mass. this 14th day of November, 1907.
